Obstacles that are almost impassable to a horse, are passed over easily by the Elk, which has been known to trot uninterru...ptedly over a number of fallen tree- trunks, some of them five feet in thickness. When the ground is hard and will bear the weight of so large an animal, the hunters are led a very long and severe chase before they come up vntii their prey ; but when the snow lies soft and thick on the ground, the creature soon succumbs to its lighter antagonists, who invest themselves in snow-shoes and scud over the soft snow with a speed thaii speedily overcomes that of the poor Elk, which sinks floimdering into the deep snow-drifts at every step, and is soon worn out by its useless efforts.
